One of the most amazing things in this world is the unlimited possibilities and opportunities that we have. One of things that I have grown to accept about me is my ability to be transparent and honest. Sometimes we are taught to hide what we truly feel , we are taught to deny our emotions, hide behind social media personas and seek perfection. Can you imagine looking through a broken mirror all of your life only seeing yourself in fragmented pieces. The only image that you have is a broken one , you have made all of your decisions based on something broken. The biggest mistake you can ever make is assessing your life through a shattered glass, never seeing the true transformation. At this stage of my life I purposely seek authenticity in all that I do , all that say and how I live. The most important relationship you will ever cultivate is the one with you. If we never seek to find out what we truly want then we will never learn to appreciate the process of growth. Life is full of valuable lessons some are orchestrated through divine connections, some lesson must be learned because we chose to ignore the signs, but nevertheless the beautiful thing about change is that it is inevitable.
This post is simply an encouraging one. This post is for people who are no longer afraid to face their biggest fear, confront the truth and live in the now. We are not giving all of the answers to life toughest questions ,but we are given the most beautiful gift of time , time to make it right , time to accept who we are , time to develop our God Given Gifts. Slow down enjoy the journey ,smell the roses , love people while they are here on earth and most importantly don't give up on yourself. God is able to take anything of low value and make it beautiful. It does not matter where we come from ,what we have done , or how bad it hurts all you need is a little time. I love you all from the top of my heart!
Best ,

Practice What You Preach
* Disclaimer These are my opinions.
We are surrounded by so much negativity. We turn on our television and we are bombarded with images of brokenness. We look down our time lines on social media and all we see are videos from world star superstars tearing each other apart. We have people promoting love of oneself , uplifting women of all kind , promoting positive youth development and some are preaching a woman worth yet we continue to glorify the same things that lead to low self worth , or terrible relationships. We now live in a world where a stripper is glorified for her hustle, or women who show their bodies are deemed worthy by the masses. We have the men who talk about women who show everything calling them disrespectful yet if you look at the popular page on instagram the same women you degrade are the same women you acknowledge and glorify . People have created business targeting women ,with their feel good words and telling us everything that we want to hear but their own actions are misleading. Good girls don't exist and bad girls win at everything , women and men who do not practice what they preach themselves are being ask to promote positive self worth , and respect when that is not the life that they are living. People have confused telling the truth to judging someone. What use to be bad is now considered good. What happen to the days where we practiced what we preach.
At some point we have all falling prey to wondering is it something wrong with those who chose to educate the so call lost generations of teens , or those who not only work their corporate jobs ,but spend hours giving back to their own communities. We have forgotten about those people who show up everyday without complaining. They show up ready to work even if they there are flipping burgers , or delivering mail. What happen to the days where we focused on treating others as we treat ourselves. You can't preach positive messages and unity and slander someone names at the same time. What ever you endorse or what ever you stand for make sure you are living that life. As a teacher I cannot separate who I am from what I do . In the classroom I am modeling the type of behavior I want to see. No matter what you plan to do in your life your actions will always be on display. It does not matter what you say ,your action will always speak louder than your words. I don't promote judgment of any kind but I do promote true self- awareness. Self -awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals. I have always been one of those people who lives by the morals and values that I display on the daily bases. There are times when life calls for a deeper reflections of who you really are and who you are trying to be.
So at the end of the day if you are going to write books that are meant to motivate and uplift a certain group of people or if you are going to promote empowering women and men either make sure you are truly living that type of life or put out a disclaimer stating that this is only for show. No one is perfect ,no one is without mistakes or fault ,but at the end of the day make sure you are aware of oneself.
